I'M FEELING GRAY TODAY

I'm feeling gray today, but it's a good kind of gray. Harkerware Pottery gray, that is!

Earlier this year, Mister came home from the dump with a truck-load of dishes that someone had left there in the free section. This set is the Harkerware "Pate Sur Pate" pattern, and there are four dinner plates, bread plates, cups and saucers, and a sugar and creamer. All are in perfect condition! The tea cups are not those tiny useless ones, they're a bit larger, probably 8 ounces.They look great with the yellow accents. And, coincidentally, Mister had picked up these grey leaf juice-size glasses about a year ago. I had tucked them away thinking they would eventually go on Etsy because they didn't match anything I had. Now they do! They have a cursive L on the bottom, which I'm assuming stands for Libbey.

Those are wonderful and what a great save!! I can't believe someone would leave them at the dump!But good for you and it is wonderful that your hubby is great at spotting treasures and brink them home!Hugs,Lynn
